High quality cuscuta chinensis

Cuscuta, also known as Spurge, Nianglianteng, Rootless Rattan, rose, is a species of convolvulus, is a physiological structure of the special parasitic plants, its composition of cells without chloroplasts, they attach themselves to other plants with creeper-like structures, stick out their spines from where they come in contact with their hosts, poke into their PHLOEM, suck up nutrients for a living, and further store starches in their tissues. Distribution in China and Iran, Afghanistan, Japan, Korea, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Australia. Born in 200-3000 meters above sea level in the field, hillside, roadside thickets or sand dunes, usually parasitic leguminosae, compositae, tribulus and other plants.

Annual parasitic herb. Stem twining, yellow, slender, Ca. 1 mm in Diam. , leafless. Inflorescences lateral, few-flowered or many-flowered clusters forming umbels or Glomerules, nearly absent; bracts and bracteoles small, scalelike; pedicels slightly stout, only 1 mm long; Calyx cup-shaped, united below middle, lobes triangular, ca. 1.5 mm long, corolla White, pot-shaped, Ca. 3 mm, lobes triangular-ovate, apex acute or Obtuse, reflexed, persistent; stamens inserted; Corolla Lobes incurved; Scales Oblong, margin long fimbriate; ovary subglobose, style 2, equal or unequal in length, stigma globose. Capsule Globose, Ca. 3 mm in Diam. , almost all enclosed by persistent Corolla, circumscissile regularly at maturity. Seeds 2-49, Pale Brown, ovate, Ca. 1 mm, surface scabrous.

Born in 200-3000 meters above sea level at the edge of the field, hillside sun, roadside thickets or coastal dunes.Distributed in Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, Hebei, Shanxi, Shaanxi, Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Sichuan, Yunnan and other provinces. Iran, Afghanistan to the East to Japan, Korea, south to Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Australia and other countries are also distributed.The seeds of Cuscuta Chinensis are propagated and propagated by seeds. The seeds of Cuscuta Chinensis fall into the soil after they are mature. After dormancy and overwintering, the seeds germinate when the temperature and humidity are suitable from March to June of the vertical year. The embryo roots of the seedlings extend into the soil, and the buds rise out of the soil surface to form filamentous silk, in the air to rotate back and forth, meet the suitable host on the above, in contact with the formation of suction root into the host. When the sucking root entered the host tissue, some tissues differentiated into vessels and sieve tubes, which were connected with the vessels and sieve tubes of the host respectively, and absorbed nutrients and water from the host. When the parasitic relationship is established, the stem continues to grow and branch, covering the entire canopy, usually flowering in late summer and bearing fruit in autumn. When it is mature, the capsule ruptures and releases seeds.
